(Water) (Even if there's no Moon or atmosphere) (So we can take our time) In the beginning The heavens and the earth On day four of God's creation Was the solar system's birth Far, far, far to the naked eye But we can make it seem close If we go beyond the sky The Sun, a star It is the only one that we have got Not far, ninety-three million miles It is large and wide Million times Earth's size It is hot, fifteen million Celsius Twenty-seven million Fahrenheit Super bright, do not stare at it Or you will go blind Average size and star type: G2V Means cyan off-white Its light is just right for Earth's life When it is on the other side You can guarantee it is night But it can fight In our atmosphere aurorae ignite And coronal mass ejections Make the Sun not so polite Block the Sun: Your hands The clouds, the Moon they might It all happened because God said Let there be light Even if there is no water Even if there is no Moon or atmosphere So we can take our time To search around, up and down Until we have every orbit cleared (Here we go) Mercury is the smallest And the closest of them all Marked with craters, scrapes, and wrinkles It is a rocky iron ball Orbit is tilted and eccentric Eighty-eight days it repeats And each and every day Its size continues to retreat No water, Moon, or atmosphere It is too close to the Sun rays Even if it had them They would just boil, pull, or blast away Its sunny face is hot The other is definitely not Though between the two extremities There lies a sweet spot Seven times greater Sun glow The way its sodium tail blows And solar wind flow Makes magnetic tornadoes (Second) Venus might look pretty But its surface is deceiving Its thick and toxic atmosphere High pressure makes it seething Hotter than Mercury From the greenhouse gases heating Sulfuric acid lightning Is going to make you start retreating Bright from Earth Known as morning and evening star Compared to its backwards rotation Orbit is shorter, so bizarre Sharing size, make-up, and mass It is known as Earth's evil twin And volcanoes shape the surface Bringing lava from within Earth is planet number three Home to all humanity Place of most our history Rivers, continents, and seas Ranging mountains at their peaks Ocean trenches in the deep Tectonic plates convections heave Powered by Earth's internal heat Earth's rotation Coriolis Makes the air and oceans flow Got the most optimal spot In the habitable zone Means the climate it has got Is just right for life to grow Only satellite, the Moon Controls the tides, one side is shown Orange Mars, not red Planet number four Will Elon have the newest Of the forty probes explored? Rovers study from volcanoes Down to every canyon floor Olympus Mons and Valles Marineris Highest, deepest scores Dust storms, thin air Making little breezes Permafrost, vapor Polar water freezes Carbon dioxide with clouds Phobos, Deimos fly around But where are all the Martians? No one to be found (Asteroids) Asteroids, little clumps Of metals, ices, rock Abundant in the system Over millions in stock Literally everywhere They like to move in crowds From Jupiter's oppression Any growing is not allowed The asteroid belt Loaded to the brim But the chances of you hitting one Is really, really slim Carbonaceous, metallic, siliceous Types: C, X, and S The big to small ones ratio Ascending is staggeringly less Ceres is a dwarf planet With salty ice formation Vesta's layered self has Rheasilvia Highest elevation Pallas' orbit is peculiar A stand-out inclination And Hygiea is oddly spherical And carbon presentation Interamnia, Davida, Juno, Psyche, Patientia Thisbe, Doris, and Euphrosyne Electra's Moon trifecta Themis, Sylvia, Romulus, Remus Hebe, and Bamberga Iris, Cybele, Eunomia, Camilla, and Fortuna Lutetia, Donaldjohanson, Flora Gaspra, Dinkinesh, Selam Annefrank, Hungaria, Litva Massalia, Nysa, Polana Phocaea, Maria, Tyche, Io Agnia, Kleopatra Alexhelios, Cleoselene, Koronis Ida, Dactyl, Antiope Kalliope, Linus, Herculina Huberta, Ulla, Hilda Schubart, Aegis, Gorgoneion Minerva, Justitia, Peneius Daphne, Griseldis, Hermione Hertha, and the list just grows And keeps on going further Trojans are objects that follow On a bigger body's tracks And every planet has got them Mercury is the only one that lacks Fifth and fattest Jupiter Baddest, with monstrous mass Got the others twice surpassed Can not be outclassed Oblate is its shape From the fastest rotation rate It inflates its clouds And atmosphere make gassy bands All swirly and straight Crushing gravity Near the belt, its locality Grabs trojans at Lagrangian points And messes with both belts with brutality Rings hard to mark Shrinking red spot Cyclones twist with spirality Magnetic field is the strongest And that is just reality Io's crust is rich in sulfur And volcanoes, lava lakes And Europa's ocean is under All the ice covered in scrapes And there is Ganymede's magnetic field Above all it is most large And Callisto bears the remnants Of some billion crater scars Adrastea, Amalthea, Metis Thebe, and Themisto Leda, Ersa, Carpo, Mneme Eupheme, Valetudo And Lysithea, Himalia Elara, Pandia, Harpalyke Orthosie, Praxidike, Dia Iocaste, Euanthe, Thelxinoe Chaldene and Ananke Sixth is Saturn Second largest, a mention is a must Its wide and flashy set of rings Of water ice and rocks and dust Particles as big as mountains Small as sand The stormy polar hexagon Something we do not understand Less dense than water But do not expect it to sail Its speedy twirl, lack of bulk Means its flattening prevails Every thirty years Some Great White Spot comes surfing Around the block They just keep on finding moons Like it is never going to stop Mimas is a cratered egg Enceladus is cryovolcanic Tethys' valley, Rhea's oxygen Dione's chasmata span it Titan's thick and orange atmosphere Methane lakes at the poles And Iapetus is two-sided Its ridge nearly rounds the whole Hyperion and Phoebe Are some massive cold potatoes And the countless clumps and moonlets But we will probably never name most Aegaeon, Pallene, Pandora Pan, and Daphnis, Methone Helene, Albiorix, Skoll Atlas, Polydeuces, Mundilfari Thrymr, Janus, Epimetheus Cold-hearted, seventh Uranus, either one Its sideways axis makes Some crazy seasons orbiting the Sun This reverse-rotating ice giant Pushes unaided sight Its dark and spindly rings Askew, are pretty slight The methane turquoise atmosphere Is more uniform, but got some tricks Coldest record Second is the average As perspective here conflicts Magnetosphere's lopsidedness Whurls a waving corkscrew tail Further missions here Are yet to be entailed The eighth one after Uranus Is windy, wild Neptune The furthest from the Sun It is dark and really hard to get to Not as blue as you remember But it also is not white And below the methane skies It might rain diamonds down inside Voyager Two is the only probe That had the planet's destination Where it picked up Neptune's winds Of supersonic circulation Colder average than on Uranus A misinterpretation And some sixteen moons And maybe more, surrounding its location Ninth was Pluto, but it is controversial Since the IAU's rejection From the planetary circle They said it did not match up To their guidelines With its two thousand and six Relegation to the sidelines Wonky little snowball Nitrogen and tholins With shifting atmospheric condensation When it is frozen Geology is constantly Transforming modestly Through all the mockery Planet or not, it is an oddity Even if there is no water (no water) Even if there is no Moon or atmosphere (no atmosphere) So we can take our time (take our time) To search around, up and down Until we have every orbit cleared Even if there is no water Even if there is no Moon or atmosphere So we can take our time To search around, up and down Until we have every orbit cleared (Take our time, yeah)
